BNC Cleanroom users - On March 7, 2014, a research study on cleanroom garments will be carried out. This study will occupy approximately half of the gowning room. If your cleanroom garments are located in the area where the study is taking place, please take your garments to the opposite side of the room for donning. There is no problem in your bringing them back to your normal location when taking them off. While videotaping will be taking place, it is not for publicity reasons and your passing through the area is not a problem. This is strictly for documentation of the research study. The primary activity will take place between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm, although there may be some setup and teardown before and after the actual gowning sessions. Thank you in advance for your consideration and cooperation during this activity. I'm sure that working together we can provide for minimum disruption of normal activities. John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 West State Street West Lafayette IN 47907 (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jrweaver@purdue.edu> nano.purdue.edu

MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar Notice for today at 9:30 in ARMS

[cid:image001.jpg@01CF2895.F2332530] MSE SEMINAR Dr. Mark D. Losego Assistant Research Professor Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering North Carolina State University Nanoscale Heat Transport at Organic-Inorganic Interfaces Abstract Compared with our ability to precisely control the flow of electrons or light within a material, our capacity to design the flow of heat, particularly at the nano-scale, is rather rudimentary. Crucial to nanoscale thermal management is an understanding of interfacial heat transport. Interfaces between two materials act as barriers to heat flow. For nano-scale systems, these interfaces largely determine the thermal conductivity of the entire material. However, thermal transport across interfaces is still not well understood. This talk will describe experimental work that attempts to validate recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggesting that interfacial thermal conductance can be strongly modulated by adjusting the strength of interfacial bonds. Our experimental system consists of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on SiO2 substrates having either methyl or mercapto terminations. Gold films are transfer printed onto these surfaces forming either a van der Waals or covalent bond respectively. The interfacial thermal conductance across the Au/SAM interface is measured via time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) and found to increase by nearly 2x when the interface is switched from a van der Waals interaction to a covalent bond. The interfacial bond stiffness is independently measured using pico-second acoustics. Together these experiments represent the first clear demonstration of how changing the stiffness of a single atomic-scale interfacial bonding layer affects thermal conductance. Methods for expanding this understanding to create new materials systems will be discussed as well as opportunities for engineering organic-inorganic interfaces for other molecularly enabled systems. Short Bio Mark D. Losego is an Assistant Research Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. He earned his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University in 2008 and conducted postdoctoral research in nano-scale heat transport at the University of Illinois until 2011. Losego's research focuses on understanding transport phenomena at organic / inorganic interfaces and within three-dimensionally nanostructured systems used in energy and environmental applications.
